The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) Summer Internship program connects talented student journalists with leading industry professionals.

“For over 50 years, the American Society of Magazine Editors has sponsored the Magazine Internship Program—a ten-week program for college students at magazines in New York and Washington. Since the program was founded in 1967, 2,000 college juniors and seniors have worked as ASME interns. Nearly 500 have gone on to successful careers in print and electronic journalism.

ASME interns have distinguished academic records and usually have extensive experience working on local magazines and newspapers as well as college publications. Only 10 percent of all Magazine Internship Program applicants are accepted.” - via ASME’s website

I was one of 14 students selected nationwide to participate in the program and a member of the 56th class of ASME summer interns, where I was an Editorial Intern for Inc. Magazine.
